OpenSpyrit: an ecosystem for open single-pixel hyperspectral imaging

Abstract

This paper describes OpenSpyrit, an open access and open source ecosystem for reproducible research in hyperspectral single-pixel imaging, composed of SPAS (a Python single-pixel acquisition software), SPYRIT (a Python single-pixel reconstruction toolkit) and SPIHIM (a single-pixel hyperspectral image collection). The proposed OpenSpyrit ecosystem responds to the need for reproducibility and benchmarking in single-pixel imaging by providing open data and open software. The SPIHIM collection, which is the first open-access FAIR dataset for hyperspectral single-pixel imaging, currently includes 140 raw measurements acquired using SPAS and the corresponding hypercubes reconstructed using SPYRIT. The hypercubes are reconstructed by both inverse Hadamard transformation of the raw data and using the denoised completion network (DC-Net), a data-driven reconstruction algorithm. The hypercubes obtained by inverse Hadamard transformation have a native size of 64 × 64 × 2048 for a spectral resolution of 2.3 nm and a spatial resolution that is comprised between 182.4 µm and 15.2 µm depending on the digital zoom. The hypercubes obtained using the DC-Net are reconstructed at an increased resolution of 128 × 128 × 2048. The OpenSpyrit ecosystem should constitute a reference to support benchmarking for future developments in single-pixel imaging.
